My Comic is too big to upload?

ComixCentral has an Upload File Size Limit of 100MB. This is to ensure a quick transfer of files for our customers. Long downloads of massive files can be frustrating and sometimes be damaging and overtaxing of some devices. If you’re told your file is too big to upload you have a few options.

Compress it as much as possible: Free online services such as http://www.ilovepdf.com/compress_pdf will compress your files with minimal loss of quality. Sometimes down to less than 50% of your original file size! A quick search for PDF compression can help you find the best options for your comics. ( Make sure to save a new copy of your comic as compressed. You don’t want to lose your High Resolution (for print) PDF.

Break your comic into issues: If you have created an epic saga, a brilliant graphic novel.. we dig it. But downloading a monster file can be frustrating for your customers. Consider breaking your book into issues and uploading each issue separately.
